New Year and New Goals

Happy New Year y’all!! I trust that everyone had a great time ringing in the new year!

For the month of January I will have a motivational quote for the day. I figure it is a great way to start out your morning, and help to keep you motivated all month. My wonderful coworker and trainer, Rita, gave a little booklet of quotes she put together to all her clients for Christmas, and she gave me one too! I’ll be using these quotes each day this month, because they are awesome! Feel free to steal these quotes and share them with others. The more motivated and positive we are as a community the better off we will be.

I’m not one for making resolutions each year. The word “resolution” puts way too much pressure on things for me. I prefer to make goals, that way if I don’t complete a goal I don’t feel let down. Instead, I know that I worked hard, but I didn’t quite get there if my goal doesn’t get completely accomplished.

This is the first year living in North Dakota I have set goals for myself. The past 2 years my only mission was to get through another freezing cold year in the middle of nowhere North Dakota without loosing it altogether. So, I’m really excited for my new goals in 2013!

Work on hammock yoga and aerial silks throughout the year in hopes of bringing it to Minot, ND

Make it through Andrea’s (my boss/coworker) medicine ball circuits from hell workout without wanting to die. The circuits she put together are awesome and work you, and I’m determined to rock that workout!

Get through all my books in my “to read” stack before I buy anymore (unless it is for book club, or a new Daniel Silva, Harlan Coben, Sarah Jio…okay, maybe this one is more of a guideline than a goal, but I really DO need to get through all these books before I buy any more!)…That picture above is of my “to read” mountain. I have a horrible addiction to buying books.

Actually paint my toe nails…bear with me on this one. I’m barefoot a lot for swimming, pilates, and yoga. I really don’t think my toes are good looking, so in order not to gross others out, I really should make them look pretty.

Get my husband to go out on a “date” once a month (this one has crash and burn written all over it)

Make sure the reading incentive program I put together for my son’s school goes off great for each student.

Catch up on laundry…it is bound to happen one of these years

What are your goals for 2013? I love hearing about and helping/motivating others to reach their goals, so share!

Welcome!

My name is Andrea and I am a mom, fitness instructor, breast cancer survivor, and former English teacher. I moved from the sunshine state (Florida) to North Dakota (Santa’s front yard). Welcome to my blog! From FL to ND follows my adjustment to living in a freezing climate along with my interests in fitness, food, books, family, and (mostly) healthy living.
